Double Vision cards

It's been such a long time since I posted (hangs head in shame) but I've just joined Bee Happy Stationery's Design Team and I've been having fun playing with the gorgeous Bunny Spring Meadow digital junk journal kit. If you know me you know I can't resist a bunny, but for my first makes with the kit I've concentrated on the gorgeous meadow background pages. We've sown our front garden, which is really steep, with a wild flower meadow mix and the poppies have been glorious even in the wet weather we've had this week. 

I'm loving the soft colours, wildflowers and butterflies as well as the cute farm and countryside animals in the kit and I've used just one of the beautiful meadow papers to make two "Double Vision" cards.  This is a simple but effective technique, where the page is cut into strips and these are adhered to the card base alternately flat and raised on sticky pads. 

There are loads of instruction videos to show exactly how to do it. My tips: keep the strips in order as you cut them so you don't get in a muddle, and glue the flat ones first, using the ones that will be raised up as spacers to keep it even, then go back and add the sticky pads. Then I used stamps from my stash to add a sentiment and decorated with butterfly stickers and some teeny tiny Fimo butterflies that were supposed to be for nail art.

I was having so much fun raising parts of the design that I also created a card from another element of the kit, a page of faux postage stamps with the cutest little sheep, to make a third card. I raised three of the stamps and added a sheep motif from the kit.

I now need to do justice to the other elements of the kit, including some darling little bunnies! You'll find the full Bunny Spring Meadow kit in Bee Happy Stationery's Ko-fi shop and you can use code BHS for a discount.
